Hiya radu!

Yup, the major 6 lane highway between east and western Washington state has been closed several times because of the huge snowfall.

They use military grade howitzers to blast mountain sides to make the dangerous snow fall before it becomes a problem on the freeways, and before they reopen them.

It was 60 degrees here today, all the snow has melted, WOO-HOO!

Man, what a mess in your mountains. I didn’t know it got that bad. I’ve seen videos of people using howitzers to create controlled (as much as you CAN control) avalanches in various mountains so understand what you’re talking about. It can be quite a show!

Dang, y’all were warmer than we were today. Our snow is all gone, too, and none in the foreseeable future is on its way.
If you get more, do NOT send it here! LOL!!!
